When I was a child the first television I remember watching was the funeral of JFK. I was five years old and already had age-appropriate books on JFK, Lincoln and FDR. Also Annie Oakley and various ballet primas including Maria Tallchief and Isadora Duncan, Anna Pavlova and Martha Graham.
Today at age 5-10 I’d like to have a book on Nelson Mandela. He did something for the world that no-one else was able to do. I respect him for everything he did for his nation, his people and for the world. Flags should be at half mast here in the US and they are not because politicians only think of themselves and not their constituents or their beliefs.
I have worked over 30 years to help people and animals. It is nothing special, but Mr. Mandela gave us all a challenge to be a better person and help others and be a leader in helping others to do so.
Thank you, sir. Dee
